Also, I noticed the lack of Froome fans in the clinic, looks like even his fans gave up on defending him here.
Well, they probably only know that because they are also all cheating, and are aware that only someone else who is cheating could finish ahead of them. Saying that this guy is cheating, just doing it better than me, is a pretty difficult line to sell to the general public though.Saint Unix said:The pros know Froome is cheating (obviously) and are reaching the point where they don't give enough of a **** to hide it from the general public.thehog said:The George Bennett tweet from the team is priceless...
“Bull5hit?!! He did a Landis?!”

If it's any consolation I've been watching since 1984 and it's comfortably in my top ten. I hardly ever post here, think the last time was over a year ago but I just couldn't let today pass without comment.Forever The Best said:This was the most ridiculous performance I've ever seen, by far.

You do realise other AAF salbutamol cases took a similar length of time to be resolved ?OldCranky said:I'm genuinely amazed that Froome and Sky are being allowed to let the adverse analytical finding saga drag on this long. I mean it's a relatively simple matter, the finding itself hasn't been disputed and it happened in early September - it's now eight months on, I mean what exactly are they pretending is taking so long to analyze? What new facts are supposedly still going to emerge over and above what is known today, or come to that six months ago? Are they hoping that everybody will just forget about it, or that maybe they'll become distracted by the heat death of the universe?

"He did a Landis!"
Disclaimer to avoid any misinterpretation: this is not an insinuation, but a way to express the admiration for an exceptional achievement. Congratulations to Chris Froome and Team Sky.
Yep. Don't find that any less amazing. I'm not suggesting that you can wrap these things up in three days but as I said, there is simply no plausible reason why it should take that amount of time and today is a prime example of why it's a problem. As I said the finding itself isn't in dispute as far as I'm aware so how exactly does it take eight months to genuinely establish how it happened?bigcog said:You do realise other AAF salbutamol cases took a similar length of time to be resolved ?OldCranky said:I'm genuinely amazed that Froome and Sky are being allowed to let the adverse analytical finding saga drag on this long.

I have to admit I did find myself with a very small nugget of grudging respect for the complete and utter lack of craps he gives. He and his team clearly either think/know they're bulletproof or simply don't care.armchairclimber said:Personally I admire the chutzpah. "You all think I'm doping right/ With my Salbutamol? Well stick this in your pipe and smoke it. Rather be hanged for a sheep than a lamb". Even if he was on thermonuclearepohghpeptidebollockjuice, to say "Right, catch me if you can" from 88km is pretty ballsy.
And long term clinic visitors will know that I hate SKY and have had little time for Froome.

One also has to ask: in other GT's where he has had a comfortable lead - could he have been winning by 15 minutes if he wanted to?ahsoe said:A scary thought comes to mind: has he been this good for the entire Giro?
Just holding back, feigning (apart from the crash) waiting to be truly unleashed?
